Wedding Entertainment FAQs
There are many types of wedding entertainment to choose from, depending on your preferences and the atmosphere you want to create. Popular options include live bands, DJs, solo musicians, photo booths, magicians, caricature artists, dancers, and even interactive activities like lawn games or casino tables. You could also consider unique acts such as fire dancers, aerial performers, or fireworks displays to add a "wow" factor to your event.
The choice between a live band and a DJ depends on several factors, including your budget, venue size, and personal music preferences. A live band can provide a dynamic and energetic atmosphere, ideal for creating a concert-like experience, while a DJ offers a wider range of music genres and styles, plus the ability to quickly switch between songs. DJs also tend to be more budget-friendly. Consider the vibe you want and the range of music your guests will enjoy.
When planning interactive entertainment, consider the size and layout of your venue, as well as the flow of your event. Photo booths should be set up in a location where guests can easily access them without interrupting other activities. If you’re incorporating games like cornhole or giant Jenga, make sure there's plenty of space and seating around these areas. Additionally, think about what will best engage your guests—fun, personalized photo booth props or competitive games can both add excitement and break the ice.
Start by determining your overall budget and allocating a specific portion to entertainment. Research the costs of different types of acts or activities and request quotes from vendors. Prioritize the entertainment that will have the most impact on your event, whether it’s a band, DJ, or interactive element, and adjust as needed. You can also save by hiring local talent, bundling services with one vendor, or opting for smaller-scale acts that fit your vision without breaking the bank.
